1940 Italian 5 Lire note?

Recently picked these up, in VF/XF, and was just wondering what their background and value was? It's a 5 Lire Italian note and 1 Lire Italian, 1939 or 1940:

And anyone know who the guy on the 5 Lire is? Any value at all? Thanks

The "guy" is King Victor Emmanuel III, the last Italian king.

Anyone know how much it's worth, if anything?

 

Not sure of the value. But its a nice note, Great find!

 

my appologies. I have been out of town for close to a week, and did not have my manuals with me. its late now, but i will look the note up tommorrow

 

Thanks!

 

the 1 Lira (P-26) note should be dated 14.11.1939 and in VF valued at around 30 cents. The 5 Lira (P-28) note was issued dated with either 1940 or 1944. Both dates are worth about $2 in VF.
